> Funny-it pops up in the Brooklyn list quite often, but the list > moderator (or whatever you call it) INSISTS that virus' cannot come > through rootsweb! LOL! Rose and others, The reason the list admins INSIST that the virus can not be spread through the rootsweb server is because it can't. Plain and simple. Rootsweb is a UNIX platform and the snow white virus is a Windows virus. Have you ever seen those commercials on tv where that guy that speaks about "this PLATFORM and that PLATFORM and how everyone if your business isn't on the same PLATFORM as your customers then your business is going to suffer". Then goes on to tell you about this new PLATFORM and how it will speak to many others? Well, that's kind of like what is going on with rootsweb and the snow white virus. Rootsweb *can't read* window's based viruses so it *can't* transmit it because it doesn't allow it through. Plus...the snow white virus isn't in the email itself, it's in an attachment. And you can't send an attachment through rootsweb. Rootsweb catches them and filters them out. Whoever is getting the virus it is only because it is following the same path as it spreads itself around. The only way it can spread is through unprotected computers and people who, for whatever reason, open the attachment. It only takes a spark to ignite a forest. Hope this helps. Rikki another listmom but not for this list. Genealogists never die they just lose their census.
